Of course he does. Preferably for the welterweight title with Makhachev's subsequent retirement as "the greatest double champion of all time."

It seems that you're unhappy with the perceived level of respect he gets so I can offer you the same advice.

Evloev should be more active.

cancellation and final retirement for McGregor. He's stealing forum space, media time and UFC time from the actual fighters.

Even grandchildren of Makhachev and Nurm will pad their records with Poirier and Gaethje.

Jon Jones should fight more often than once in 5 years

It's a bit early to compare

Time to delete him from the active fighters discourse as well.

He also holds a record for the most short notice opponents in history.

He gets my respect if he fights 5 opponents with a full camp in a row.

I'd watch Makhachev vs Du Plessis. But how how many welterweights (I'm not talking about MWs) did Makhachev and Nurmagomedov face in their 25+ UFC fights?

I don't care if it actually never happens.

Makhachev faced much tougher opposition than his Master, who was on a Horcher diet. Just look at who they won their titles against. It's Oliveira, one of the all-time greats, on one side, and some semi-retired realtor from top 1000, on the other.

He will be perfect on his 1 day on the job but will run out of steam on day 2.

Makhachev's words about respect are worth less than Jon Jones' tearful ramblings about God.

I would be shocked if his move to 170 ever happens. After all, there's a clear reason why both he and Nurmago fought many featherweights in UFC and never a welterweight. That said, a fight at welterweight can happen at some point, especially against a lightweight/featherweight on a short notice...

Why do people still give a shit about him?

Actually people from the Caucasus region are known for their short temper rather than calmness. Also, they're usually pretty confident that they, together with their brothers, cousins, uncles and neighbors can defeat pretty much any single opponent. Also, watch some wrestling tournaments and...

Well, yeah, you couldn't really tell if it would happen it that fight, or in the next, but it was long in the making. Also, he was TKOd in kinda-boxing match so it's not like he was immune to damage or fatigue.
